Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with preferred embodiments, this does not represent that the features of the present invention are only limited in the embodiments. On the contrary, the description of the present invention in conjunction with the implementation modes is intended to cover other alternatives or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, the following description will contain many specific details. The present invention may also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or obscuring of the key point of the present invention, some specific details are omitted in the description.

With reference to FIG. 1-FIG. 3, an embodiment provides a control box 100, including an air supply system 1 used for supplying air to a water pool body (not shown). A first chamber 2 is arranged in the control box 100, and accommodates control components (not shown), and the control components are used for controlling the operation of the air supply system 1 and/or other systems (such as a water circulation system).

In the embodiment, the air supply system 1 includes:

• • an air suction part 11, being provided with a housing 111 which is provided with an air inlet 111a and an air outlet 111b, wherein the air inlet 111a communicates with the first chamber 2; the air suction part 11 further including an air pump 112 which is arranged in the housing 111, wherein when the air pump 112 is started, air in the first chamber 2 can be suctioned into the housing 111 through the air inlet 111a; and
  • a valve part 12, being provided with a pipeline which is provided with an air intake port 124 and an air supply port 125, wherein the air intake port 124 communicates with the air outlet 111b of the housing 111, the air supply port 125 is used for communicating with the water pool body, and when the valve part 12 is started, air suctioned into the housing 111 can flow into the water pool body along the pipeline.

According to the control box 100 provided by the embodiment, when the air pump 112 is started, an air path is as shown in an arrow direction of FIG. 2: a, air is suctioned from the first chamber 2 to the air inlet 111a in the housing 111; b, the air flows from the air inlet 111a of the housing 111 to an air pumping end of the air pump 112; c, after flowing out of an air exhaust end of the air pump 112, the air flows to the air outlet 111b of the housing 111; and d, the air flows from the air outlet 111b of the housing 111 into the pipeline of the valve part 12, and finally the air is supplied to the water pool body.

It can be seen that in the embodiment, when the air pump 112 is started, the air pump 112 suctions air from the first chamber 2 instead of directly suctioning air from the outside of the control box 100 as in the prior art. Therefore, when the air pump 112 works, air in the first chamber can be suctioned to the outside of a cabinet body of the control box 100 through the air supply system 1, so that circulation and renewal of air in the first chamber 2 can be realized, thereby avoiding the accumulation of humid air. Therefore, according to the control box provided by the embodiment, the first chamber has a dry working environment, so that the service life of the control components accommodated in the first chamber can be prolonged.

With reference to FIG. 2, an air filter 113 is arranged at the air inlet 111a of the housing 111, and in the embodiment, the air filter 113 is sponge. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the air filter may also be a filter membrane or the like, as long as it can play the role of filtering air.

In the embodiment, the air suction part 11 is adjacent to the first chamber 2 in a horizontal direction. In other words, in the embodiment, the first chamber 2 is arranged around the air suction part 11, through the arrangement, an air flow path can be shortened, the air pumping efficiency of the air pump 112 from the first chamber 2 can be improved, and the volume of the control box can be reduced.

The air pump 112 is a product which can be directly purchased and/or customized, specifically, the air pump 112 includes a motor and a fan driven by the motor, and an enclosure is arranged outside the fan. For the air pump 112, one end of the enclosure of the fan has a larger outer diameter, and one end of the motor has a smaller outer diameter. When the motor drives the fan to rotate, the air pump 112 can suction air from one end of the fan to one end of the motor. In the traditional design experience, the air pump is arranged in an upright mode in the control box, that is, one end of the fan is located below, and one end of the motor is located above.

In the embodiment, the applicant breaks through the conventional arrangement mode, the air pump 112 is arranged in the control box 100 in an inverted mode, and through the arrangement, at least the following technical effects are achieved:

(1) The mounting structure of the air pump can be simplified, and the volume of the control box is reduced. In the conventional design, the air pump is upright, the enclosure of the fan is located below, and a bearing structure for bearing the weight of the air pump is mounted below the enclosure of the fan. Since the outer diameter of the enclosure of the fan is large, the outer diameter of the bearing structure matched with the enclosure of the fan is larger. In addition, since an air pumping opening of the air pump is located in the center of the fan, a corresponding air channel needs to be designed in the center of the bearing structure, and in this way, the air pump in the prior art is complex in structure and is larger in volume. After the air pump is arranged in an inverted mode, the motor with the smaller outer diameter is located below, the bearing structure only needs to be matched with the motor in the outer diameter, an air channel does not need to be arranged in the bearing structure, and therefore, the structure can be simplified, and the size can be reduced.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the mounting structure of the air pump 112 refers to a shoulder part 115 and a bearing part 114 arranged on an inner wall of the housing 111, wherein the bearing part 114 is arranged below the air pump 112 and used for supporting the weight of the air pump 112; the shoulder part 115 is located above the bearing part 114 and used for providing radial support for the air pump 112. Further, the bearing part 114 is a tray arranged on a bottom wall of the housing 111, the shoulder part 115 is a step arranged on a side wall of the housing 111, and through the arrangement, the mounting structure of the air pump 112 can be simplified maximally.

(2) An air flow path is optimized. Since the air pump 112 is arranged in an inverted mode, and the air pumping opening of the air pump 112 faces upwards, the air pumping opening of the air pump 112 can conveniently communicate with the first chamber 2. Specifically, in the embodiment, the air inlet 111a is formed in a top wall of the housing 111, and the air pumping end of the air pump 112 is opposite to the air inlet 111a, so that the air pumping opening of the air pump 112 can communicate with the first chamber 2. Further, air holes 21 are formed in a bottom wall of the first chamber 2, air outside the control box 100 flows into the first chamber 2 through the air holes 21, and therefore, an air flow direction of the first chamber 2 is as shown in the arrow direction in FIG. 2. The air holes 21 of the control box 100 are formed in the bottom wall of the first chamber 2, so that the presence of air flowing dead angles in the first chamber 2 can be avoided, and also the appearance of the control box 100 can be kept complete.

Further, in the embodiment, the air outlet 111b of the housing 111 is located in the bottom wall of the housing 111, the valve part 12 is located below the housing 111, and the air intake port 124 of the valve part 12 is in butt joint with the air outlet 111b of the housing 111. In the embodiment, the air suction part 11 and the valve part 12 are arranged in an up-down direction, the valve part 12 is located below the air suction part 11, and through the arrangement, the control box has a compact structure. Further, the air outlet 111b of the housing 111 is adjacent to one side wall of the control box 100, so that the structure of the control box 100 can be further simplified.

In the embodiment, a water pool is a massage water pool, and the air supply system 1 of the control box 100 is used for supplying air to a water pool body of the massage water pool. Specifically, the air supply system 1 not only can inflate the water pool body and also can spray bubbles into the water pool body so as to provide water for massaging. Correspondingly, the air supply port 125 at least includes a first air supply port 125a and a second air supply port 125b, wherein the first air supply port 125a is used for spraying air bubbles into the water pool body of the massage water pool, and the second air supply port 125b is used for inflating the water pool body.

Specifically, the valve part 12 includes a first pipeline 121, a second pipeline 122, and a third pipeline 123, wherein the air intake port 124 is formed in the first pipeline 121, the first air supply port 125a is formed in the second pipeline 122, and the second air supply port 125b is formed in the third pipeline 123. In order to further reduce the volume of the control box 100, in the embodiment, the center lines (including a center line of the first pipeline 121, the center line of the second pipeline 122 and the center line of the third pipeline 123) of the pipelines and the center line of the air pump 112 are located in the same vertical plane. Optionally, the center line of the first pipeline 121 extends in a vertical direction, and the center line of the second pipeline 122 and the center line of the third pipeline 123 extend in the horizontal direction respectively.

In the embodiment, the valve part is a check valve, which can guarantee the unidirectional flowing of air in the first pipeline 121, the second pipeline 122 and the third pipeline 123, and prevent water in the water pool body from flowing back into the air supply system 1.

Further, a water circulation pipeline is further arranged in the first chamber 2 of the control box 100, and a heating device is arranged on a path of the water circulation pipeline and can heat water in the water pool body. Specifically, the water circulation pipeline includes an inlet and an outlet which are connected with the water pool body, and water in the water pool body flows to the water circulation pipeline from the inlet, is heated by the heating device and then flows back to the water pool body from the outlet, so that the water in the water pool body is maintained at a proper temperature.

In the embodiment, as the air pump 112 can suction air in the first chamber 2, even if the water circulation pipeline is arranged in the first chamber 2, air in the first chamber 2 can be kept dry.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a massage water pool, including a water pool body, and the control box 100 provided by any one of the above embodiments. The air supply port 125 of the air supply system 1 of the control box 100 is connected with the water pool body.
